Life in Death
Prologue
Standing in a snowy park, a lone girl stared at the frozen lake.
This was Sasari Yuuki, a seven-year old girl who had just experienced the hardship of life for the first time. At this moment, the long, blonde-haired girl had an expression which shouldn't belong to that beautiful face of hers.
She was crying.
Sasari Yuuki, a girl who rarely showed any weakness to others was now having her slightly rosy cheeks stained with tears. If there were anypassersby, they would probably rush their way to comfort the fragile-looking girl as soon as possible. Alas, there was no one there! Yuuki was all alone, facing the problem she has without having anyone at her side.
Her snow white dress fluttered as the cold wind blew; however, Yuuki didn't feel cold at all. Her pearly black pupils were fixated at an object floating at the water's surface. That was the reason of her sadness.
Soon enough, Yuuki was no longer alone. She gained company, but not a normal one. It came in the form of a giant fox.
Sasari Yuuki turned her body around. Due to its gigantic form, her face met the giant fox's paw. Under normal circumstances, she would feel surprised, no, scared would be more appropriate to use there. However, today was not such a day. Due her current state of mind, Yuuki did not feel scared of the giant fox's appearance, nor did she feel wary of its overwhelming presence.
She raised her right hand, trying to reach her new companion. However, because of their difference in height, she could not.
It was the next moment when the giant fox suddenly leaned its head down and took a sniff of her hand. Sensing neither danger nor ill intents coming from this girl, the fox let her pets its snout.
"It's warm," Yuuki thought.
What made Yuuki's curiosity rise was the unusual bony white mask on the fox's face. She wanted to ask the fox about it, but failed to do so. The fox carefully laid its body down and wrapped Yuuki's petite figure with its tails, pulling her close. Yes, tails, not a single one. This giant fox had nine of them.
Snuggling into the warmth provided by the fox, Sasari fell asleep. For this moment, she wanted to forget about her problem. Just this time only, she let her tired body rest against its warm belly.
Not long after, the fox slowly put the young girl onto its back. The nine-tailed fox did it carefully so as not to wake her up. Once done, it began to walk slowly toward its den, a place not located in this human world. To make it clear, this fox was an otherworldly existence - same as the little girl on its back.
Left behind, there was the white object floating on the lake. If one were to look closer, it actually was a human body. It was the body of a girl frozen in the lake. She had long blonde hair, pearly black eyes, and small frame.
It was Sasari Yuuki's dead body.
Even though her life on Earth has ended, her adventure has yet to begin. No one knows what kind of life she would face in the near future.
